Description

A group of college students gather for a self-defense workshop after one of their peers is raped. As they learn to "not be a victim" and defend themselves, they also confront their own desires, trauma, and sense of belonging. The form of self-defense becomes a complex expression of their emotions, challenging them to determine what they want and how to ask for it. This powerful exploration delves into the insidious ways rape culture affects individuals and their bodies. Through this intense and personal journey, Liliana Padilla sheds light on a crucial aspect of modern life that often goes unspoken.
